Default mp3 player output volumes

Hi all, never posted in here before but seems you might be able to
help.

I'm looking for an MP3 player to use with an FM transmitter in my car
and occasionally an external speaker via the earphone socket.

Not headphones.

Both of the aforementioned devices benefit from a player with a high
output volume.

I've asked elsewhere but keep getting told that some headphones are
more efficient than others even though I clearly stated that I do NOT
want to use the player with headphones.

I'm also aware that some players have a switchable volume level.

I have tied a Sandisk, Creative and a Sony. None seem to go as loud as
my daughter's 3rd gen ipod. Trouble is I hate iTunes with a passion.

I've got a large mp3 library and don't want to re-record at higher
levels.

So, any websites that have reviews that include output level info?
Anyone got any ideas for players with a reputation for a decent
output?


TIA
